This website would not be here without the time, efforts, encouragement & record collections of the following 3 people, to whom I am sincerely grateful. The world of bootlegs is a difficult subject at best with original releases, re-issues, counterfeits (bootlegs of bootlegs!) and both genuine and cynical re-packages, and the attention to detail shown by my three friends below has helped enormously to sort the good from the bad and make this guide the most complete and accurate source of information ever published on Pink Floyd Vinyl bootlegs. In no particular order (drawn out of the proverbial hat) are....

Eric "The Toe" Miller
My collector and conspirator from America who has encouraged me with this from the early days of putting it all together, and is also the provider of pictures of some very rare records. Eric runs Eric's Freaky Vinyl Vault who buy and sell rare records, specializing in multi coloured vinyl pressings. If you have any wants or anything to sell then drop him a line.

Fabio Milan
Fabio is my friend from Italy who (like Eric & You) also has an amazing record collection. Fabio has a great attention for detail and, along with some pictures, provided much of the valuable information about all of the different pressing variations. Not surprisingly, he has great knowledge of the European pressings in this guide.

You. I
You is a great collector from Tokyo with an extremely impressive record collection who kindly found the time to send in some jaw dropping pictures & info for the extremely rare Japanese (& other) pressings on the site. Many of these are so hard to find that they have never been seen before except by the handfull of people who actually own them!.

And Finally....Yours Truly....Slugbelch (The Webmaster)
